Hey man, there are three "best" armour types, and they just depend on your preferences.

(Note: A set boost is the bonus given when all three peices of armour worn are of the same tier)

There is the obvious choice:
Cobalt Armour
With a total of 19 defence, mana regeneration equal to that of meteor armour, the melee speed boost of shadow armour and a set boost of 25% mana usage reduction. The only issue with this armour is that it will take you AGES to get it, it's pieces only drop from enemies in the underground jungle, and even then it is a rare drop.

However, if mana isn't your thing, or you die alot:
Molten Armour
With a total of 38 armour (10 of which coming from a set bonus), Molten Armour offers a brilliant defensive bonus. If you mainly use guns/arrows as opposed to magic or swords, this may be the armour for you. It is crafted using (Alot of) hellstone bars, which in turn are crafted with hellstone ore and obsidian, both found near the bottom of the map.

Finally, there is another option:
Necro Armour
While Necro Armour provides no bonus to mana or attack, it only gives 19 defence, however the set bonus grants a 30% speed boost, which can help greatly when travelling long distances. This is crafted using bones and spiderwebs, the latter is easy to find, however the former is only found from skeletons in dungeons, which can be an issue.

While there is no BEST armour in the game, these three are the ones with the most to give.
